Verdict

Official ratings point to the chances of Deire Na Sli, a very good third to Sing Softly at the Curragh on her reappearance before a reasonable effort on her Polytrack debut at Dundalk. Her fitness may just give her the edge over Honey Of A Kitten, who progressed nicely in his first season though his Cork success in October was gained on very fast ground. Redskin Dancer couldn't cope with Group 3 company at Leopardstown on her return but this represents a drop in class, while Obligada did everything right when scoring at Limerick and should be suited by this extra furlong. Peahen scored at Dundalk before a cracking effort in a Listed event at the Curragh and may have been feeling the effects when well beaten in a Group 3 there next time.
